He's been great to be around. But it still seems a little funny. |
I had faith in the Mets and I had faith in my advisors. I knew it could get done. Once you're assured of that, it's no big deal being patient. |
I saw him the other day, he was working out. |
I threw him all fastballs away, but I just kept missing. I just didn't hit the spot. I still have a lot to learn. |
I've thought about it. It's going to be a challenge coming from the flatlands to the city, but it's definitely something I can adjust to. I'm looking forward to it. |
It's great for them. I want to wish them the best. |
My only concern is to go out and improve every day as a player. I'm positive the Mets will let me know when I'm ready. |
Next thing I know, Bernie Williams pulled it down the line for a double. I told Castro that's the last time I'm shaking him off. |
Right now, I'm just trying to get acquainted with people, everything and the whole situation. |
The biggest adjustment is that guys up here have a plan. Guys in college just go up there and swing. Most guys in college just sit on the fastball. I threw some good pitches. I feel like I'm progressing right where I need to be. |
The strike zone can be a little small some days. You have to adjust. I didn't do a good job adjusting today. |
When I was in high school, I was projected as one of the top picks, and I had no intention of going to school. But, I had a bad senior year and I fell. Looking back, if I had gone (pro) out of high school, I would not have made it. I wasn't mature enough. ... Going to college was the best thing I ever did. |
You just try to look at the glove. I don't care if there's 50,000 people behind that [cage], I just worry about the next pitch. |
